After a somewhat lengthy illness Mr. E. R. Sprague, one of DeFuniak’s best-known citizens, passed away to the great beyond. The body left here Tuesday evening for Broadhead, Wis., where the burial will take place Friday.
Mr. Sprague was a member of the Methodist church of this place and had lived to the ripe old age of 80 years. He lived a very quiet and simple life, and up to a very few months before his illness was as spry as any young man. He was a Northerner by birth and for a number of years he made this place his home. His body was accompanied to its last resting place by a number of friends who were called to his bedside a few days before his death.
THE BREEZE takes this means of expressing its sympathy along with those of his numerous friends.
